New decisions are added every week, and older years are actively being backfilled — a year that looks thin or missing here (especially 2011–2017) is a gap in our library, not in the Board’s decisions.

Remanded (sent back)January 2016
The Board has remanded the appeal due to incomplete records and for further development. The Veteran's claims for service connection are pending.
DeniedJanuary 2016
The Board has determined that the Veteran's current GERD is not related to his military service and therefore denied his claim for service connection.
GrantedJanuary 2016
The Board has granted service connection for hemorrhoids and anal fissures, finding that the Veteran's current disability is etiologically related to his active military service. The issues of increased ratings for lumbosacral spine and left leg varicose veins disabilities are addressed in the REMAND portion of this decision.
Remanded (sent back)January 2016
The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including scheduling a VA examination and providing the Veteran's appointed representative an opportunity to review her claims folder.
